A rough panel from Stickleback: England's Glory
Stickleback © 2007 Rebellion/2000AD

From my recent blog entries you'd get the impression that my life consists of Having Toys and Swanning Around, so I thought I'd post a panel from Stickleback: England's Glory to show that I have actually been working.
When you're using a fairly expressionist painted style, there's a tendency to avoid putting in much in the way of backgrounds or contextual stuff - it's far easier to do pretty, swooshy stuff with paint - but so far I think I've been able to strike a balance between the look of the thing and the demands of the story.
You'll be able to judge for yourselves soon - my current understanding is that Stickleback: England's Glory will start running in 2000AD Prog 2008 (for the uninitiated, that's this year's big Christmas edition). There's also been some talk of a collection combining the first two series of Stickleback in one volume, to be published sometime in 2008...

Great news,Stickleback for me has been the best new series in 2000ad for years glad to see it back!Hope Ian and yourself have enough ideas on it to maybe see it once a year?
Great panel. The background has all the detail needed without looking stifled by photo-referance. Do you find it hard to find decent period referance (i know i do)
Dec.
